On Wednesday evening, intrigued fans will venture to cafes across Morocco's capital city Rabat to cheer on their side against Arsenal. But they will not be sitting in the smoke-filled coffee houses, watching Mikel Arteta's men at Emirates Stadium. Instead, Renee Slegers' women will be on the television, playing AS FAR at Brentford's Gtech Community Stadium (18:00 GMT). Brazilian side Corinthians will already have played New York-based Gotham FC in the other semi-final of the inaugural Women's Champions Cup (12:30). The finalists will meet at Arsenal's Emirates Stadium on Sunday, 1 February (18:00) with $2.3m (£1.7m) - the biggest single award in women's club football - going to the champions.
